Complex asset owners

  • Early/Thinking

    For complex asset owners who are considering adopting digital twins but aren’t sure how or what to do, we’re the digital twin experts because our CEO is a world renowned expert. Unlike digital service providers and internal digital managers, we are focused just on digital twins, deliver twin training, have a proprietary process for assessing and designing twins, and have seen hundreds of twins succeed and fail, and can therefore guide complex asset owners to making better decisions.

  • Pre-Procurement/Pre-Build

    For complex asset owners who want to procure externally or deliver digital twins internally, but don’t have the expertise or confidence to do so themselves, we’re the digital twin owner teams experts because we have domain experience in complex industrial domains and domain expertise in digital twins, and we have processes and people to guide procurement and delivery towards beneficial outcomes and can manage digital twin specific risks . Unlike standards driven or simple scopes of work by generalists, we have a library of hundreds of use cases used in multiple industries globally, and can tell you what works and what doesn’t work, before you procure or lock in scope or work or requirements. We also have proprietary design frameworks that help end users define problems, and link digital twin and AI capabilities to decisions and actions in the real world, to assure problem solving.

  • Ready to buy / deliver

    For complex asset owners who have committed to an “operational” or “site” digital twin, we’re the digital twin delivery experts because we have reviewed hundreds of digital twin use cases, designed scores of digital twins for others, and built dozens of digital twins ourselves. Unlike digital service providers and internal digital managers, we are experts in this narrow field and have extensive experience across the entire product lifecycle. We know what works, what doesn’t work, and we focus on creating real value in the real world by solving real problems.

Simple asset owners

  • Early/Thinking

    For simple asset owners who are considering adopting digital twins but aren’t sure how or what to do, we’re the industry digital twin experts because our CEO is a world renowned expert and we have industry specific products. Unlike digital service providers or horizontal visualization platform vendors, we are focused on digital twins that create value, deliver twin training, have a proprietary process for assessing and designing twins, and have seen hundreds of twins succeed and fail, and can therefore guide simple asset owners to making better decisions.

  • Procurement & Ready to Buy

    For simple asset owners who need to procure externally, because they don’t have the expertise to do it themselves, we’re the industry digital twin experts because we have domain experience in complex industrial domains and domain expertise in digital twins, and we have specific industry products designed to deliver outcomes for that industry. Unlike software vendors and engineering service providers, we have highly customized digital twin products that are designed to solve specific problems for specific industries, and can specify and deliver the hardware, software, business process changes and support to end users that simple asset owners need but don’t have the skills and resources to do.

Digital Twins: Enhancing Situation Awareness

Digital twins provide a virtual representation of physical assets, processes, or systems, offering real-time insights and enabling predictive capabilities. Here's how digital twins can enhance situation awareness across all three levels:

Perception Enhancement

Digital twins provide a comprehensive, real-time overview of operations, visualising the status, location and dynamics of relevant elements in the environment.

This enhanced visibility allows users to quickly identify potential issues, risks, and anomalies, improving their perception of the current situation.

 

Comprehension Improvement

By integrating disparate pieces of information into a coherent whole, digital twins help users understand the implications of various factors on overall operations

This integration of planned work and production data supports faster and more accurate comprehension of complex situations.

 

Projection Capabilities

Digital twins, combined with predictive AI or simulation tools, can forecast future scenarios based on current conditions. Being able to visualise planned work vs current work and locations also enables highly efficient work management such as Short Interval Control.

This capability enhances users' ability to project potential outcomes and make proactive decisions.

 

Mitigating Cognitive Overload

In VUCA environments, the sheer volume and complexity of information can lead to cognitive overload, hindering effective decision-making. Digital twins help mitigate this challenge by:

  1. Providing context-specific visualisations tailored to individual user roles and responsibilities (i.e. reducing the number of things on the screen to the most important)

  2. Integrating multiple data sources into a single, coherent interface

  3. Offering intuitive representations of complex data and relationships

 

Collaborative Decision-Making

Digital twins enable shared situation awareness among team members, fostering better communication and collaborative problem-solving

By providing a common visual reference, digital twins facilitate:

  • Improved coordination between different departments or teams

  • Faster alignment and improved context on critical issues and potential solutions

  • More effective knowledge sharing across the organisation

 

Continuous Learning and Improvement

Digital twins not only enhance real-time situation awareness but also support continuous learning and improvement:

  1. Capturing and analysing historical data to identify patterns and trends

  2. Enabling scenario simulations to test and refine operational strategies

  3. Providing a platform for training and skill development in a risk-free virtual environment

 

Conclusion

Digital twins offer a powerful solution for enhancing situation awareness in complex industrial environments. By providing real-time visibility, integrating disparate data sources, and enabling predictive capabilities, digital twins help businesses navigate VUCA conditions more effectively.

As industries continue to evolve and face new challenges, leveraging digital twins for improved situation awareness will become increasingly crucial for maintaining operational excellence and safety. By implementing digital twin technology, businesses can empower their workforce with the tools and insights needed to make better decisions, respond more effectively to changing conditions, and ultimately drive improved performance and safety across their operations.
